AMAZING! Honestly, this, along with its original first fic, have been the greatest long-term fics I've ever read. Simply beautiful and heart wrenching and REAL in every way. I can't even articulate how much I loved these. Seriously. If I knew you in real life, pretty sure I'd be beating down your door to be your best friend or just trying to lick your brain! lmao, *creeper* All I want to say is THANK YOU for writing such fantastic fiction and putting it up here for myself and others to read and enjoy. It isn't often that I'm so engrossed in a story I find online of all places, as I am a huge reader (my place is overflowing with texts and books, really)- but the funny thing is that I'm usually only so emotionally affected by the ones I do come across on the interwebs, strangely. And I was deeply moved by this- incredibly so. You are an amazing writer, and again, I just have to thank you for having let the world into your brain for a few stolen hours.

“you make me want to be just... different, not myself. Or more myself than I know how to be.”

Single. Most. Eloquent. Explanation. Of. The. Human. Condition. When. In. Love. Ever. I nearly fell off my damn chair when reading that. If ever a person has not felt this way, they aren't living, really. You have this PAINFUL and uncanny ability to exactly express the strata of the soul. Freaky in its poignancy? Yes. Heartening? Yes. Feels sort of like a knife between the ribs? Yes. Feels sort of like a knife you NEED to feel between the ribs? Even more so.

LOVE! And ♪ ♫ oh, Ellen, what can I do? ♫ ♪ Lmao, Ellen's awesome. Also, Dean getting professional help is really striking.

Oh WOW. Dean turned down the drink point blank, gracious as anything. That was crazy in the best way.

Meg too now? What is this madness? The whole canon of characters on parade! Love it!

yeah, so, three chapters in and absolutely head over heels for this story- but of course I would be, given that it is the luminous sequel to the absolutely radiant first part of the epic story of stripper Dean, which is way too painful and raw and real to be good for me, I'm sure. Seriously, the way you encapsulate what Dean is feeling and thinking, it's way to crystallized and relateable. It worries me, lol. Egad, I'm in love with this.

I enjoyed reading this story and also 'Innocence and Feathers', how you tore down Dean and then started putting him back together again. Do you have a continuation of this series posted somewhere? I would like to find out if Dean overcomes his problems, comes to terms with his past, and if he and Sam live 'happily ever after'. ;-)
Thanks!

ahh i`ve enjoyed reading so much.awesome awesome job hun.*claps you*incredable :)

I REALLY Liked this story and the one prior to this. It's very well written and I just adore Sam and Dean's relationship. :) ur awesome, hahaha.

What an awesome story, just spent all day reading it, couldn't pull myself away. You write really beautifully.

Loved this story from beginning to end, and wished it would never finish! Now I am going to have to re-read. PLEASE tell me you are going back to this someday? It's truly a masterpeice.

Oh my god. Poor Dean. This story is amazing. I can't stop reading!

What I love about this story is that it just keeps you coming back for more. So sexy and sweet at the same time. Love it.
